Start by asking yourself, “How do I know what books belong in the Bible?” And no, “I read the Table of Contents” isn’t really an answer.

I have two choices. It was written by man or by God.

I choose God’s providence and his hand involved in His scripture.

God destroyed the temple, the sacrificial system, the priestly system, tore the curtain separating Himself from man.

RC and many churches rebuilt everything God destroyed. Why?

What exactly is the new Covenant? What does his word say. Do you know?

Jer 31:33 “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day,” says the LORD. “I will put My instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people.
Jer 31:34 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the LORD.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know Me already,” says the LORD. “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”

I encourage you to read God’s Word on the New Covenant. It is a personal relationship with Him, not an institutional relationship.

You must be born again, it is a requirement. What does that mean? Born of the Spirit. If God’s Spirit isn’t pointing to His Word, it isn’t the Spirit.
